Awry MOI surgeries: Team blames medics

From IPP Media, Dar es SalaamBy Felister Peter

The commission formed to investigate the circumstances that led to the recent twin surgeries at the Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute (MOI) that went awry has blamed the debacle on irresponsibility by medical practitioners.

Health and Social Welfare minister David Mwakyusa unveiled the findings of the team at a news conference in Dar es Salaam yesterday. He formed the commission two weeks ago.

The minister said the medical practitioners involved in carrying out the operations flouted both professional and administrative procedures.
